A simple work habit to nurture you and everyone around you

It's easy to get overly focused on a project and forget the bigger picture. Take a step back periodically to remind yourself there's more.

Every cycle, make it a goal to do something for your project, your team, and yourself. Diversify your time without over-committing. Nurture yourself and the people close to you.
